[Year 12 SofDev] Real world problem

Tue Apr 2 20:56:18 UTC 2019

Hi David

Over the years, linking in with Access databases was just one way that my students did it. Some used SQL databases (using XAMPP – pretty safe if students only have the virtual servers on when they are using it), other have used plain-text files, whilst others XML files.

Ultimately which external storage technology students use should be dependent on the solution’s needs. What is the best storage technology that meets my needs and is feasible?

Thank you very much for your help. It is great to see the level of the projects.
I wonder if I can also ask you / anyone what technology you resort to for the ‘design, construct and use of external storage’ within the programming requirements?
I have been looking at interfacing VB.net with an access database. Is that a common way to achieve the external storage requirements?
Thank you.

David.

Also, as this is my first year with Software Development (the course not the skill) does anyone please have any examples whatsoever of a ‘real world problem or opportunity’ called for by the Software Development Administrative information for school based assessment 2019?

Just one or two that students have selected in the past would be helpful to look at.
Thanks,
David.
